Rugby World Cup 2019 semi-finals: How to watch England vs New Zealand
The Rugby World Cup 2019 kicked off on Friday 20 September with hosts Japan beating Russia to get the home side off to a flying start. We're now at the semi-final stages, with four teams remaining.
But when are these games and how can you watch them?
Read on to find out.
## England vs New Zealand
England face-off against tournament favourites New Zealand at 9:00am BST on Saturday 26 October. The match will take place in Yokohama to determine the first finalist for the tournament.
## Wales vs South Africa
After scraping through against France, Wales will now face South Africa in the second semi-final to be played at 9:00am BST on Sunday 27 October. The match will also take place in Yokohama.
## Japan hosts - remember the time difference
The big thing to remember for the 2019 Rugby World Cup is that games are being played in the afternoon or evening in Japan, meaning that if you are in the UK, they will be played in the morning.
The first game kicked off at 19:45 in Japan, which was 11:45 in the UK. When Ireland faced Scotland on Sunday 22 September it was at 08:45 BST, so it's rugby for breakfast.
## Where can I watch the Rugby World Cup?
ITV has exclusive coverage for the UK and games will be shown on ITV and some on ITV4. That means the games are free to watch for anyone in the UK.
You'll also be able to livestream the games via the [ITV Hub][2]. You'll have to sign-up for an account and verify your email address - after that you can stream through a browser or via the app on your smartphone or tablet.
There will also be coverage on BBC Radio 5 Live and Radio 5 Live Sports Extra - as well as text coverage through the [BBC Sport website][3] and app. If you want to listen the BBC radio coverage online via [BBC Sounds][4], you'll again need to have an account, but again it is free.

## Will the Rugby World Cup be in 4K HDR?
Not in the UK. ITV will be showing it in HD, but that's as far as it goes. If you want 4K coverage, you'll have to watch Foxtel in Australia.
